Yes.. its unpleasant, but every modelists has such moments. For the modelist of Your level the decision is evident the yard have to be remade. My very best regards
La Créole 1827 by archjofo - Scale 1/48 - French corvette
So you will make this yardarm once more - Ärgerlich, aber was solls - passiert ist passiert

Well seeing how you are building as near real as can be done in scale, how would a real world ship fix a broken tip of the yard at sea?
Maybe think of that, and make it look like a real world repair.

Hello,
Thank you very much for your motivating contributions. I would also like to thank you for the LIKES.
Continuation: Equipping the mizzen topgallant yard - Vergue de perruche
After the small mishap, as reported, I have now made a new mizzen topgallant yard and fully equipped it. This means that the topgallant yard chapter can be put to bed until it is installed on the model.
Here is a picture of the finished mizzen topgallant yard.
And another picture with the tye.
The next picture shows different yards of the French corvette in size comparison. In the center you can see the mizzen topgallant yard. Above it is the mizzen royal yard and finally the middle section of the main yard is shown below.
The next step is to equip the royal yards with the necessary rigging elements. Then I'll finally have finished fitting out the yards.
To be continued ...

Just great work - hope to see these yard-arms on next Saturday in Augsburg during our meeting - I woul dlike to see this work in real
I was able to see some of his amazing work in real during last weeken on our regional meeting in Augsburg
Once I hope to see (and study) the complete ship model - great work my friend
Regional Meeting of "Arbeitskreis Historischer Schiffbau" and forum "Segelschiffsmodellbau" in Augsburg / Germany on 11th May 2024
ANNOUNCEMENT: In March some members of the german Association "Arbeitskreis Historischer Schiffbau e.V." and of the german forum "Segelschiffsmodellbau" will meet for one day in Augsburg / Germany, in order to talk, show their models, look and chat. We expect appr. 40 to 50 modelers coming...

Hello Uwe,
I'm very pleased that you enjoyed these parts.
But compared to the other great models on display in Augsburg, my La Creole pieces were nothing special.
It was again very informative and interesting in Augsburg and at this point I would like to thank you very much for the beautiful pictures of the admirable models that were on display at the exhibition.

Equipment of the main royal yard – Vergue de grand cacatois
The royal yards are on the 4th floor of the rigging. Since these yards on the La Créole were obviously equipped with lifts and braces, it can be assumed that they were already an integral part of the ship's rigging. In contrast, until the end of the 18th century, the royal sails were often hoisted together with the yards and flown as fair-weather sails only when necessary, i.e. without braces and lifts.
To carry out the tyes for the royal yards of La Créole, I have photos of the original model at my disposal, which a restorer from the Musée de la Marine in Paris kindly photographed in the depot especially for me.
You can't see much in the following picture of a royal yard of the Paris model, except that the tye is somehow knotted and doesn't have a hook like that of the togallant yards.
Source: Musée national de la Marine de Paris – La Créole
Source: Atlas du Génie Maritime
In conjunction with the depiction of a royal yard from the Atlas du Génie Maritime and various other examples, the tyes may have looked like this.
My model implementation or interpretation of the tye ø 17 mm (ø 0.35 mm in model scale) for the main royal yard looks like this:
Next I made the parral. The royal yards receive a slightly simpler version of a parral, only served with ropes, without leather covering.
This was followed by the production of the single blocks for the royal yards. These were used to guide the clew lines - The clew lines for the main royal sail had a diameter of 11 mm (in the model scale ø 0.23 mm), accordingly the blocks were around 13.5 cm long (in the model scale approx. 2.8 mm) according to the table in the monograph.
After attaching the grommets as abrasion protection, the equipment of the main royal yard was completed by attaching the braces and lifts.
We then continue with the fore royal yard.
Sequel follows …

I was able to admire your work in Augsburg, Johann and I am very impressed. Absolutely top.
I forgot to ask you in Augsburg, where you bought this oversized Mega 1 Cent coin - I would need also one
something like this would work .... btw: It is my on top of the coins

Probably in the same place as those logs that look like a match

@pianoforte
I have only shown a few parts.
But your model is also admirably beautiful.
@Steef66
Thank you, I'll try.
@Mirek
Thank you for your nice comment.
@Uwek
Unfortunately, we didn't have the opportunity to talk in more detail during the many conversations. We'll have to make up for that.
And who is the lady down there .... ?
@Alexander74
Many thanks for your interest and encouragement.
Thanks to everyone for the many LIKES.
In the meantime, the constant rain here in Bavaria is getting on my nerves.
The Danube is rising alarmingly.
On the other hand, I can spend more time building models again, so I can show you the latest results:
Equipping the fore royal yard - Vergue de petit cacatois
I continued with the equipment of the fore royal yard, analogous to the main royal yard. The fore royal yard still has a thickness of around 2.2 mm in the middle.
The first picture shows the attached tye and parral.
The clew line blocks that had already been produced were then fitted with served block strops and attached to the yard.
This was followed by the final fitting of the yard with the lifts, braces and clew lines. As already mentioned, I will not be attaching any sails to this model. Accordingly, I will later connect the clew lines of the royals to the sheets without the corners of the clews using the toggles.
Last but not least, a picture with the center section of the main yard for size comparison.
